Have You Ever Used a Virtual Web Computer?

Have you ever wanted to have a computer that you can access anywhere, is stored externally, and won’t cost you a thing?  Than you should check out g.ho.st. 

G.ho.st offers every person in the world a free Virtual Computer (VC). G.ho.st is simply pronounced “ghost”, an acronym of Global hosted operating system (written G.ho.st with two dots because a URL (web address) must have dots!). The G.ho.st Virtual Computer includes almost everything you would have in a physical computer – a desktop, file storage (like a disk drive) and applications (apps).But unlike a physical computer, your Virtual Computer (VC) is “hosted” in a professional data center somewhere in the Internet “cloud” and is accessible as a web page in any browser. You can run the entire G.ho.st VC from any Internet browser without the need to install any software or “sync” files. Just enter your username and password, and continue using your VC from exactly the state you last left it in. 

G.ho.st is revolutionizing personal computing by delivering to you a free Virtual Computer – personal computing in a web page, free of charge. For the first time in history, G.ho.st frees you from being tied to any one physical device – and frees you from the worries of installing software, backing up, and other administration.

  • Freedom – Your entire computing environment is available and accessible from any computer or mobile phone browser in the world.
  • No more administration – No more software installation, software update, worry about backup, anti-virus, or sync.
  • Security – Your data is in a professional data center, much safer than in a typical PC which is susceptible to viruses, spyware and disk crashes. If you are using a shared computer (Internet Cafe, school library), G.ho.st also helps to protect your privacy.
  • Cost – When using the G.ho.st Virtual Computer you can choose a cheaper more environmentally friendly computer like a ‘netbook’ or ‘thin-client’ and also save money on software – no need for Microsoft Windows® or Office®. You can also use G.ho.st in Internet Cafes, libraries and on mobile phones without owning a computer or Internet connection.
  • Fun And collaboration – Being online, G.ho.st offers more opportunities for sharing files with friends, communicating with friends, and bringing your social news – from FaceBook®, Twitter® and others – right onto your desktop.


The G.ho.st VC is currently in public “alpha” – the VC is already stable and is actively used by thousands of people although it does not yet have a complete set of applications and may exhibit some bugs and slowness. G.ho.st will launch the “beta” version in the coming months.
